1. Explore Neutral Territory

Miles from bland and boring, this exquisite shower proves how vivid and invigorating neutrals can be. Featuring an expressive palette of white, beige and rust, the handmade-look and marble look tiles offer rich details in complementary tones. On the floor, Kasbah tile in Cross Terracotta and Star Bone creates a unique checkerboard, echoing the white and rust tones in the Arabian Pisa Oro Matte shower wall tile. The marble look tile’s lush veining provides a visual throughline to the handmade-look details of the Coco White Matte and Canvas Matte subway wall tiles, creating a beautifully complex yet cohesive space.

The undulating tones and texture are enhanced by the herringbone pattern, drawing the eye across the space with a soothing sense of movement.

Take advantage of the extra wall space available in a walk-in shower to showcase a beautiful tile focal point. By “framing” a patterned or mosaic tile with trim, you can incorporate a favorite motif that might otherwise feel overwhelming if used throughout the entire space.

Here, the decorative Laura Park Martini Olives Taupe tile is framed by Africa Tempesta Barnes trim. The grey-veined white marble complements the tones of the painterly pattern, creating an elevated, high-end design moment.

9. Go Grey

Gorgeously soothing, grey is a timeless shade that continues to gain popularity in modern spaces.

22. Add Natural Beauty With Wood-Look Tile

While we wouldn’t recommend real wood for a space that is regularly inundated with water, wood look tile offers the same natural appeal with the waterproof durability of porcelain or ceramic.

Here, the Violin Decor tile features rich visual and tactile texture, combining a realistic wood design with a fashionably fluted surface. The Cool Blue handmade-look tile on the adjoining wall adds rich, undulating tones for a water-like effect, beautifully enhancing the themes of biophilic design.

If you love this durable, earthy aesthetic, explore our wide selection of wood look tile.

23. Give Yourself a Seat

Whatever stage of life you’re in, you can benefit from a place to rest. Walk-in showers make it easier to accommodate mobility aids, and a built-in bench or seat offers a dedicated spot to sit if standing becomes difficult—adding to the long-term accessibility of your home, a key feature of universal design.

As this chic shower proves, a seat can be a stylish feature as well as a practical one. Tiled in Marradi Calacatta Emerald Polished, the seat features bold veining that echoes the natural green of the Alison Victoria Gem scalloped wall tile. Fully integrated into the design, this seat offers unassuming assistance when needed—even if its primary use for now is a convenient spot for shaving.

24. Add Curb Appeal

A stone curb separates your shower pan from the main bathroom floor while elevating the character of your space. Available in a range of natural stone styles, curbs can seamlessly match your shower tile or add a decorative, high-end edge to a ceramic or porcelain design.

For more durably luxurious designs, explore our wide selection of marble look tile.

26. Give It Grip With Granite Tile

A flamed finish creates an earthy, textured surface on the Shanxi Black granite floor tile. Adding natural traction to this transitional shower, the silver-veined stone provides a striking visual contrast to the Tribeca Gypsum White handmade-look subway tile. While a smaller format naturally creates more grout lines for grip, the unique flamed texture of this granite provides inherent slip resistance even in a larger format.

Shop granite tile for more beautifully textured designs. 👉

27. Add Niche Appeal

Form meets function in the shower niche. By providing a stylish spot to store your toiletries, a niche helps reduce tripping hazards while offering a perfect opportunity to showcase a favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

Here, the Arctic White Large Herringbone mosaic is featured within the niche, splendidly framed by layers of Claros Silver Somerset, Arctic White Barnes and DURAL Gold trim. While these coordinate beautifully with the Arctic White field tile, you could further increase your niche’s visibility by using a high-contrast tile.

28. Mix Your Stones

Inspired by the abstract geometric paintings of Piet Mondrian, the Mondrian tile incorporates marble and travertine in varying squares and rectangles to create a striking mosaic. The blend of natural stones and contrasting warm and cool neutrals results in a distinctly contemporary and visually rich tableau.

29. Go for a Gorgeous Green Hue

Gloriously green and visually rich, this spacious bathroom—designed by @yellowstoneinteriordesign—is enough to make anyone envious. The Look Oliva tile lines the shower walls and wainscoting, creating a cohesive and high-end feel.
